Effective Oct. 1, Fox will be DuPont's general counsel.

Starting Oct. 1, Fox will be the senior vice president and general counsel of Wilmington, Del.-based DuPont. She has served as Detroit’s deputy emergency manager under Kevyn Orr since October 2013.

“Stacy comes to us as a proven leader with exceptional experience as a lawyer and business executive,” said DuPont chair and CEO Ellen Kullman in a news release. “She will play an important role in supporting DuPont’s growth.”

Detroit City Council is expected to vote out Orr at the end of his 18-month state-appointed term in October. And with him, his staff could be seeking new positions as well because city government is expected to be reinstated as of Oct. 1. Gov. Rick Snyder has not indicated whether he would appoint a new emergency manager — or reappoint Orr — if the city’s bankruptcy trial extended further into the fall than anticipated.

Fox, 60, is the co-founder of Detroit-based real estate development group The Roxbury Group and on the executive committee of Downtown Detroit Partnership. She resigned from her position as principal at Roxbury to serve with Orr, acting as his deputy and chief of staff.

Previously, she served as vice president of strategy and general counsel for Philadelphia-based Sonoco Inc. She is also a former general counsel and executive for Visteon Corp., Johnson Controls Inc. and Collins & Aikman Corp.
